This is a contribution to the IACS joint body on mountain snow cover, working group 2.

Peak snow water equivalent (SWE) extracted from ERA5-Land for the GMBA mountain inventory v2.0. Peak SWE is taken as for Apr 1. Maps show anomalies of the 2023-2024 season relative to the climatology 1991-2020.

GBMA polygons have been simplified by a factor of 5 for simpler and faster online accessibility.
